SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000 (unaudited)
Note 1 Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2000,
and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flow for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, and 1999, have been prepared by the Company without audit.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operation, and cash flows at June 30, 2000 and
1999.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principals have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements and notes
thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for March 31,
2000 . The results of operation for the three months ended June 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full
fiscal year.
New accounting pronouncements
In April 2000, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. FIN 44,
"Accounting for Certain transactions involving stock compensation, an
interpretation of APB opinion No. 25", was issued. FIN 44 clarifies and modifies
APB opinion 25, "Accounting for stock issued to employees." FIN 44 is effective
for us in the second quarter of fiscal year 2001. We have not yet determined the
effect, if any, the implementation of the interpretation will have on our
financial condition or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Included in the financial statements of the Company for the first
quarter of 2001 is Space Technology Development Corporation (STDC) which was
acquired on December 21, 1999. The STDC acquisition falls under the DUAP with
the Navy. Earth Search Sciences, Inc. has made all milestone payments to date.
In the first quarter of 2001, the Company continued to pursue its strategic plan
to survey areas of interest for its own use. Areas of interest surveyed with the
Company's remote sensing instruments in the first quarter of 2001 included
potential hydrocarbon properties. A significant third party remote sensing
survey planned for the first quarter of 2001 was postponed to the third quarter
of 2001
Revenue, costs of services provided, and general and administrative expenses
include $433,014, $952,438 and $151,837, respectively, from STDC.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash decreased in the first quarter of 2001 due mainly to capital
expenditures, salaries and overhead. Capital expenditures in 2001 were primarily
for payments for an aircraft and hyperspectral instruments.
FUTURE OPERATIONS
In the future, the Company intends to perform remote sensing surveys
for third parties in the mineral, hydrocarbon, forestry and environmental areas.
In addition, the Company intends to continue to perform remote sensing surveys
for its own use with applications in mineral and hydrocarbon exploration.
